My first reptiles of the year: at riverside CP
Friday, 29. February 2008, 22:30:49
Today it was cloudy. Then it started to rain. But I tried looking for reptiles at a locality I know, with out much hope. And yet, under some roofing felt I found this guy (and a friend)
And under a piece of corrugated iron I found this (common?) shrew
Also about on the sea front at Riverside country park, Kent, where some teal and some pintails, heres one of the males
Also some bar tailed godwits
And to finish off how about this image: I turned over a rock to see what would have to be a gardeners worst nightmare, if it was in his garden of course!

Sadly reptiles are pretty rare in my locality now

@sitting fox. Cats are a big problem. In an article on tetrapod zoology (see my links) darrens subtracts the number of slowworms killed a year from the total population and it works out to be a third! But if if cat owners don't care about birds, there unlikely to care about reptiles
On the upside it good to hear of someone else interested in their conservation

Worrying statistic about slow worms.
